Customize App Screen For Users

Setting the default home screen arrangement is a powerful way to control what users see when they first join your app. Whether you want all members to start with the same layout — or create different experiences for parents, staff, or students — this feature gives you full control.

🔧 What This Feature Does

• Sets a default home screen layout for new users.

  Lets you choose between:

  • One default for all users, or
  • Separate defaults for each account type (Parent, Staff, Student, etc.).
• Ensures new members have an organized, purposeful app experience from day one.

👣 Step-by-Step: Set Up Default Home Screen Arrangement

1. Open the Home Screen Arrangement Settings

• Click the ⚡ Lightning Bolt icon in the top-right of your app.
• Scroll down and click Home Screen Arrangement.

2. Choose a Default Setup Option

You’ll see two options:

✅ Option 1: Use my personal home screen arrangement as the default for all new members

• This uses your personal current layout as the default for new users.
• To update it: simply rearrange your own home screen first, then save.

🔁 Option 2: Use a separate default home screen arrangement for each account type

• You’ll be able to set a unique layout for:
  • Parents (e.g., Tuition, Events, Contact)
  • Staff (e.g., Feedback Forms, Staff Chat, Internal Docs)
  • Students (e.g., Assignments, Schedules)

💡 This helps keep each user’s experience focused and relevant.

3. Rearrange & Save

• Drag and drop portals into the order you want.
• You can hide or show items as needed.
• Click Save to apply the layout.

✅ Why Use This Feature?

Customizing the default home screen helps:

• Make your app feel tailored to each user group.
• Ensure important info is front and center.
• Simplify onboarding for new families and staff.
• Improve user engagement from day one.
